Happy International Cat Day to Everyone Except JD Vance
August 8, 2024
Columbus, OH- Today, we’re wishing a happy International Cat Day to everyone, except JD Vance, who has repeatedly remarked that “childless cat ladies” are ruining our country and has doubled down on his comments when pressured.
Vance’s comments aren’t just weird and off putting- they’re dangerous.
“JD Vance’s “cat ladies” remarks show his desperation to create a scapegoat for our nation’s problems,” said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. “ If he’s looking for the real cause of our country’s problems, he should get a mirror.”
But instead of working towards real solutions for American families, here’s what JD Vance has been up to.
- Called universal child care “class warfare against normal people”
- Voted against protections for IVF.
- Opposed a bill protecting same-sex and interracial marriages
- And this is far from the first incident in his long history of disparaging people without kids.
And given multiple opportunities to apologize for his comments, the best he could do was reassure the American people that he has nothing against cats.
Meanwhile, vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has welcomed families from every background to Minnesota and led with policy that delivers for working families, like universal school lunch.
He’s even been a friend to cats on the campaign trail, unlike JD Vance who is probably just as off-putting to animals as he is to voters.
Voters have a choice in this election, and we know that they’re going to choose the ticket that’s standing with our families, not against them.
